Answer:

However, compared to other stars, our Sun is only a medium-sized star, meaning that some stars are much larger than the Sun and some are much smaller. The Sun looks bigger than other stars because it is so much closer to the Earth. The further away an object is, the smaller it appears, even if it is very big.

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?

sukhopar [10]

I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio

natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

$\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}$

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

$v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.

A spaceship ferrying workers to Moon Base I takes a straight-line path from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000 km. Sup

Tema [17]

Answer:

a) v = 19,149.6 m/s

b) f = 95%

c) t = 346.5min

Explanation:

First put all values in metric units:

$15.8 min*\frac{60s}{1min}=948s$

The equation of motion you need is:

$v_f = a*t+v_0$

where $v_f$ is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.

Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:

$v_f = a*t = 20.2*948 = 19,149.6 m/s$

Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:

$x=\frac{v_0+v_f}{2}t$
